I'm looking for a laptop for my computer science studies, so no gaming. There must be no immense performance → the rotation can be with the i3 processor.
Also important to me is a relatively small, slimmer laptop s.besten Lenovo / ThinkPad or the same. I know it's difficult, especially with many requirements, but maybe you have good tips.
My budget is ~ 600 euro
A comparison, apart from the price would be the IdeaPad 720s, with 950 euro, however, far above my budget.
I would look for used Thinkpads. Since you get for 600 euro already good models.
In my computer science studies I'm using the Thinkpad X240 (i5 4th Gen, 8GB RAM and 180GB SSD) - for 200 euro
Is not he too fat?
No, that counts as an ultrabook. Have one yourself. It does not weigh much either. Does not feel noticeable in the backpack.
Which is under 2cm thick - if you do not take the largest battery.
With this he has just rear 3.5cm height (where the battery is sitting), but otherwise…
I'm just saying that I have the moment - with your budget, you can of course look for other and better models
My son has just ordered one from notesbook cheaper, also for computer science. Lenovo, do not ask me about the guy, has cost about 630 euro. I'll ask him later.
The last two devices I bought were both leasing returns for business laptops.
Luckily, the notebook division is not as ephemeral as it used to be and a two year old device is still very good for everyday tasks.
Unfortunately, I have a big problem with Lenovo (preinstalled bloat and spyware, as well as self-signed CA certificates in the operating system) * and I would not buy such a device anymore (although the workmanship and life in the ThinkPad T-series are quite good ).
I myself currently rely on Fujitsu Lifebook E-series. - If it should be easier, perhaps a look at the Lifebook S series is interesting.
* Goods problems, are probably no longer available today, but have damaged my reputation sustainable.
Yes that's true. But no more, so no more spyware (who believes it or not). However, I'll beat Arch either way, as I find Windows useful only in very rare cases.
Sensible attitude. - The only Windows I have is in a VM. Otherwise, only ArchLinux will run everywhere.
Only one device does not work as well as I wanted. - But is an ancient Toshiba with ATI chipset, in which the energy-saving options do not really want (fan control has too high a minimum speed).
Resist pure and eat well.
Then there's trouble. - Is that part of my girlfriend.
But it's only half as bad. - The notebook is in the dining room and is almost never needed.
Actually, Arch is out of place on the device, as I have to patch it up almost every time I use it (with "Planet" entries because I skipped x versions of something again).
Maybe there's a Debian on it, then I have the next 7 years rest.
